The team is scrimmaging as I write this, but media were not allowed to watch, given our customary 25-minute boot from the Dempsey Center, where practice was moved due to concerns over the weather.

The injury situation looked as advertised --- Brandon Johnson and Jordan Murchison not in full pads and sitting out, Brandon Yakaboski in pads but wearing red, likely not to participate in any real activity. Darin Harris was in full pads and appeared ready to go, as did everyone else.

For more on what Johnson had to say, he said the of his knee that "it's just hyperextended. I'll be back on Monday. Most of the swelling is (gone) so I'm able to walk around and move it a lot more so hopefully I'll be running Monday.''

Asked if he had any worries that the knee injury would impact him long term he said "oh no, not at all.''

There were a number of local Pac-10 officials there ready to call the game today, and there were also a number of high school coaches who appeared to have been invited specifically to see a scrimmage
